MAC Rebel Lipstick Review

I have found a new favourite lipstick! MAC's Rebel Satin Lipstick is gorgeous, in my opinion. The deep plum colour is perfect for an edgy, vampy look this season and Mac have got it so right. I've always been wary of wearing pinks and purples on my lips as I know I suit red so tend to stick to with it but I'm so glad I bought this shade. Every single time I've worn it I've been complimented on so it can't just be me that likes it! If I apply a small, thin layer the colour stains my lips a dark pink tone but the more you apply, the more of a purple colour you get. Unlike some other lipsticks I've tried, this one does not feel too dry in texture. I wore it today to test how long the coverage lasts and even after eating a meal and drinking it has lasted 6 hours with absolutely no reapplying. It faded into the deep pink shade I said about but that's inevitable after food and drink. 
I think a lot of people would be put off buying this as it looks a lot darker on the website to what it actually is which can be misleading but I'd definitely recommend it. You can buy it here for only £15, bargain for the brilliant quality you get!

If not is it one that tickles your fancy?

First Jumper Purchase This Season!

I've finally bought myself a gorgeous jumper ready for this cold weather and I'm so happy with my choice. I was casually browsing through the Topshop website, one of those where you shouldn't be spending money but you're forced into buying something anyway, when  I came across this quirky little thing. 

 

Excuse my serious face, I am happy with it really! I love the quirky smiley heart print on this. It's so fun which I appreciate as sometimes jumpers can be quite plain and boring. It looked a little thin on the website so I was worried it wouldn't be worth the £32 price tag but I have to say it's perfect. So fluffy and warm so I was captured into ripping off the tags and keeping it! I spent yesterday with my family looking around Camden so I just teamed this with my black Vans, my ASOS high-waisted jeans and some big gold hoops, also from Topshop. To match my red nails (claws as I've been told) I applied Mac Red Russian lipstick for a more edgy look.

What would you wear this jumper with?

OOTD.

Leggings & Bodysuit - River Island I Shirt - Zara | Shoes - Schuh | Chain- Topshop | Watch - Michael Kors

I was woken up early this morning so that I was ready to leave for London at 9am. Instead of actually getting up and making myself look decent, I opted to stay in bed for an extra 15 minutes. This just meant I had to go without make-up on and natural hair (hence hiding my face from the camera!) 

I am loving tartan this season so chose to wear these leggings I bought recently from River Island, especially as we all know leggings are the most comfortable things ever so what better to wear for travelling?! They are high waisted which I love as I always find things are more versatile this way, is it just me? For £22 I couldn't resist. The only thing I would say is if you would like to purchase a pair I would definitely buy a size smaller to what you are. I wish I knew this before buying and impatiently ripping the label off! 

The bodysuit I bought for £12 and I'm so glad I did. I've bought a couple of black bodysuits before but I've always found they don't fit right or the material is too thin so had to return them but this one is perfect. Something like this is definitely a wardrobe essential of mine as they can be so flattering and so easy to wear dressed up or down.

I'm in love with my oversized denim shirt. I found it in Zara when I went to Madrid last month and I'm so lucky because there was only one left, shoved behind a rail of clothes. I love comfortable clothes and I find this is great to just throw on those days. I'm always being complimented on it, so glad I found it :)

My shoes are simple - all black Vans. Again, so versatile and comfortable. The gold chain I bought from Topshop months ago and I still wear it often. I paid £12.50 for it but I have since seen some great versions in shops like H&M and Primark for under half the price!

My Fashion Wishlist

I'm so excited to share my first blog post, is that sad? I thought I'd start with something simple. Everyone has a wishlist and if you're anything like me, it's huge! I've picked my favourite 5 pieces at the top of my list right now.

1. Aaru Boxy Tartan Crop Top - Daisystreet.co.uk 

I love that tartan has come back into fashion, it's been long overdue! I particularly love this tartan tee. Crop tops are not a favourite of mine, especially now it's getting cold, but at 34cm it's not too short. I'd team this with some boyfriend jeans and some Vans (you'll find out I'm a bit of a shoe fanatic) for a casual look or some high waisted black skinny jeans, big gold statement jewellery such as hoops and some black sandal heels for a quirky, evening look.

2. Avery Boyfriend Fit Acid Wash Jeans - Boohoo.com

I always find myself looking at these jeans. If I'm honest I'm not sure why I've not just purchased a pair already! This particular pair seem so versatile and I love the thought of teaming them with a pair of heels and wearing them on a night out. I love layering so I'd wear them with a black bodysuit, statement jewellery and an oversized shirt.

3. Olive Bodycon Midi Dress - Motelrocks.com

I'm not usually a dress kind of girl but I looove this. Monochrome is pretty big this season and I think this dress is unique but simple in how the black and white has been put together. I'm a huge fan of Motelrocks. They always put their own unique twist on clothing and it works! I could write a long wishlist just for them alone.

4. Dr. Martens 3 Eyelet Shoe - Office.co.uk

I have been dying for a pair of Docs for what seems like ages now. The only reason I don't have a pair is because of a silly pact I've made with myself to not buy more than two pairs of shoes a month and, surprise surprise, I already have. These would look great with the Boyfriend Jeans also on my wishlist above.

5. Korsina Tartan Dungaree - Missguided.co.uk

I did say I can't get enough of tartan! These dungarees are so cute. If I got them I'd have to buy the Docs to wear with it (good enough excuse I think). Missguided always have great, affordable pieces and this is a perfect example. For under £20 you can't really go wrong!
